Turkey’s President Abdullah Gul referred to the Armenian-Turkish
normalization protocols during the ‘Political talk" TRT TV program.

"Normalization of the relations with Armenia means settlement of the
situation in the whole region of the Caucasus," Gul said.

According to the President, the official Ankara initiative to resume
the relations with Armenia has brought the Nagorno-Karabakh forgotten
issue to the agenda.

As Gul said, both the US and Russia are in accord with the idea.

The stability and security in the Caucasus cannot be established unless
the Armenian-Turkish relations resume. The President highlighted
that Armenian-Turkish normalization may have a positive impact on
the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Gul excluded any tensions between Turkey and Azerbaijan and stated,
"Turkey and Azerbaijan are one nation, two states."
